P.S. I really hate when this happens....

Griz my friend,7750 is a great movement for what it is,No apologys needed,take care.

From what I understand, it has gone up compared to what I once paid, but it will not be sold, so that is of very little value to me. The simple fact is, it checked all the boxes for me when I researched a watch to buy, including a simple and classic look, an in-house movement and a sturdyness that will, if properly serviced, last for the remains of my days
That's really all there is to it..

Exactly. I know Breitlings don't retain their value or go up as in the case of Rolexes, but they're still making my model of watch and charging $1500 more than what I paid for it five years ago.

Chinese knockoffs eh?

It's amazing how hard it is to tell the difference! A friend of mine has a replica and it's VERY difficult to make out a difference.

Why do I get the feeling this thread isn't quite as welcoming as some of the others?

Hey now, some of us get into the cooking Scotch. It tastes better than the wine.
